we both know socially. My friend is one of those guys who is the life of the party and has never met a stranger. He’s always a lot of fun to hang out with and seems to make friends wherever he goes. Well while out one night he was confronted by an obviously drunk individual who for some reason didn’t like him and slapped him around. When I asked my friend about it he just dismissed it admitting he was pushed around and that was all. I was told differently. How can I get my friend to stand up for himself and what can I do to get back at the guy that hit someone who couldn’t protect themselves? MK
Dear Rocco, I am 34 years old and have been an introvert all my life. I simply feel more comfortable to talking to some people and tend to clam up around others. Since I have this shyness and insecurity, people sometimes think I act like a snob. I feel bad about this and have few friends. Some people have told me I have a phony smile. It is bothering me

Reflections On Some Of My Favorite Song Lyrics I recently lost my brother. I was in charge of his funeral service. I picked some one song that people agreed was very appropriate. That song was, “My Way” performed by Frank Sinatra. When I was picking out the music I wanted to use for my brother Lyle’s funeral ceremony I knew this was one I was going to use for sure. When I told some family members, old friends and the funeral director who was an old friend of Lyle’s they all smiled and nodded in agreement. As the song rolled across the chapel and I listened to the words I felt that the song was even more fitting than I realized. Some very appropriate phases stood out to me. “I’ll state my case of which I’m certain. I did it my way. But through it all when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out,
and did it my way. And may I say, one who kneels.. The record absolute best song to describe not in a shy way... I did it my shows, I took the blows, but I did my brother. I had several people remark upon the song with “That was Lyle” or ‘that really fits him”. One cousin in particular summed it up with “That was it, right there”. I knew then that this song was exactly right for my brother’s service. After so many comments about it I was reassured I had made the right choice. However, had people disagreed I would not have changed things. I have some of that ‘My Way” spirit in me also. That song was just so right for Lyle that I had to use it. This ability of a song to convey such a description of a persons character led me to think about way. For what is a man, what has it my way”. That was Lyle for songs whose lyrics are very fithe got? If not himself, then he sure. I knew I had picked the ting for a person or event or has not. To say the words he truly feels. And not the words of

which have some inherent wisdom (at least to me); so much that I thought about writing this article. Another such song is ‘The Dance’ as performed by Garth Brooks. I was not into country music much in the ‘90s so I wasn’t familiar with the song until a friend of mine sang it at karaoke in David’s Restaurant and Bar (sadly closed long ago). As I listened to the words I thought they could definitely apply to some aspects of many peoples lives. The words, “For a moment all the world was right, how could I have known you’d ever say goodbye. And now I’m glad I didn’t know, the way it would end, the way it would go. Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I’d have to miss the dance. This could apply to a love being lost or a loved one dying. But it makes you realize the time spent, the emotions felt of ‘the Dance’ are worth the hurt. The song goes on “for a moment wasn’t I the king, but if I’d known how the king would fall, hey who’s to say you know I might have changed it all. And now I’m glad I didn’t know the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain but I’d of had to miss the dance:” Would we continue with our course in life if we knew what was coming and it was going to be emotionally painful? Perhaps it is very contrite but it seems the song is saying “ it’s better to have lived and lost then never loved at all.”. I think this song could also apply to having loved and lost a child or relative not just a romantic interest. That’s the beauty of music. It can be interpreted by the listener. It can invoke emotional highs and lows . It can put the listener back to a time and place OR make you think with the words and convey a message.
Take the song, “Last Worthless Evening” by Don Henley. When I hear it I think Henley is basically saying goodbye, telling his lover “this is the last worthless evening that you’ll have to spend. “However the lines before that are “ just gimme a chance to show you how to love again.” Another line says “but there’s just so many summers and just so many springs and this is the last worthless evening that you’ll have to spend”. I pick up on that part and again think he is talking about that they are wasting their time and need to move on. But he goes on to ask, “Just gimme a chance darling to show you how to love again”. Perhaps people hear what they want to in the lyrics of a song. Another Henley song that reminds of my father, grandfather and our family farm is “A Month of Sundays”. One line goes “ Had some time for farmin’ then, banks back then was lendin’ money. The banker was the farmer’s friend. And I’ve seen dog days and dusty days; Late spring snow and early fall sleet; I’ve held the leather reins in my hand and felt the soft ground under my feet.” While I never plowed with a mule both my father and grandfather did. They also suffered through the ups and downs of weather that affect farmers crops. Another line offers “Now I’m glad that I have quit, folks these days just don’t do nothin’ simply for the love of it.” My father’s day job was as a teacher. He farmed in his “off time”. This often meant before he left for school in the morning and soon after he came home from work, many times until dark. Anyone who thinks a farmers life is easy is badly mistaken. It’s more like another line, “one step forward and two steps back...I don’t see next years crop”.
brother I was reminded of a line from “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, “Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?” As your loved one slips away each breath seems like it lasts an eternity. Each second drags on and drains you emotionally.
Some lyrics that really seem to fit our current situation (March 2020) are from “The Boys of Summer”. “Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach; I feel it in the air, the summer’s out of reach.” Due to these dark days it does seem as if summer is “out of reach”. We are living quarantined day by day. The song continues “Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down Thank you to friends and family alone”. People are not out near who helped me after the passing as a much. There are no crowds of my brother Lyle. or gatherings. The dusk is a lonely place. Later the song goes, - Mark Haskins “Out on the road today I saw a

Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said “Don’t look back, you can never look back”... then “Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but”. Perhaps that will be our situation as a society. We can never look back. We will have to look forward and hope for brighter days. But can we really help but thinking we hope there’s a day where “I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun, you got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on...” Maybe the Boys of Summer will get here soon and make us forget these dark days. Perhaps unlike the song we will forget those nights and wonder if it was a dream...

involved intentionally coughing all over it. Gerrity’s Supermarket in Luzerne County, says the woman intentionally coughed on the fresh produce, a small section of the bakery and meat case. The supermarket’s co-owner said he believes this was an attempt at a “very twisted prank.” “We will not take any chances with the health and well-being of our customers. We had no choice but to throw out all product she came in contact with,” the supermarket’s co-owner Joe Fasula posted on Facebook. The
store has not calculated the exact loss but believes it will be more than $35,000. The store said the police were contacted, and they believe the woman is not infected with the coronavirus. A Washington man was arrested following a high-speed chase that left officers dumbfounded after they found the man’s pit bull behind the wheel. The incident unfolded Sunday afternoon after police received calls about a driver hitting two vehicles in an area south of Seattle and then speeding away, state trooper Heather Axtman reported. Axtman said that as officers gave chase, they got close to the vehicle and were shocked to see a pit bull in the driver’s seat and a man steering and pushing the gas pedal from the passenger side. The pursuit ended after police deployed spike strips and arrested 51-year-old Alberto Tito Alejandro. “When we took him into custody... he admitted to our troopers that he was trying to
teach his dog to drive,” Axtman said. The female pit bull, which was not aggressive toward the arresting officers, had been placed in an animal shelter.

After a successful dinner date, Cohen said he planned to ‘take this relationship to the next level’ - a step that would once again require some clever thinking on his part. Cohen messaged Tori and asked her to meet him outside her apartment for their first official in-person date - to which she quickly agreed. What Tori could not have guessed was that Cohen would be wearing an enormous inflatable bubble to ensure that the two of them remained socially distant even while hanging out together. The pair then go on a walk together through their neighborhood when a cop stops them. But it turns out the police officer recognized Cohen’s story from the news and just wanted a selfie. Of the date Cohen wrote: ‘Just because we have to social distance, doesn’t mean we have to be socially distant.

Radio Industry In the Age of Hyper-Niche Music The radio business is more competitive than ever and the audience is more diverse than ever. Why has this happened? Well, I guess we can blame it on the Internet and YouTube which allows small niche artists to get a following, then there are the copycats, and sub-niches, and then sub-niches of the sub-niche. Folks can download the music they want, anytime they want, so why would they bother listening to the radio - well, that’s just it, most of the new generation doesn’t listen to radio much anymore.
Even Yuppies in their BMWs, today, and how some winners Another strategy for radio SUVs, and Mini-Vans who have satellite radio have over 100 channels, so what are the chances of them tuning into any given local radio station, which if you live in even a medium sized city is probably more than 10-20 stations that service that market. The New York Times had a decent article posted on February 11, 2013 titled; “The Blush of Youth at the Grammy’s - A music awards season tilting towards the new and fresh,” by James McKinely Jr. and if you watched the Grammy’s you know how diverse the music is
were folks you’d never heard of in your life. Even many in the music industry didn’t know all the winners. So, how can a radio station make money? Well, maybe you can’t, in fact there are many very well established radio stations going out of business or merging. Look in your own phone book and see the number of stations all run by various radio groups, as they usually call themselves. By putting together several niches they can interest their various advertisers so they can get coverage in the proper demographic group. In some ways this helps advertisers target market, but it also means that for it to be worth the cost, those ads need to be quite reasonable. ENIGMA

groups is to use syndication on off-hours, perhaps playing music from a similar station across the country, splitting up the advertising time with their national advertisers, then the rest with local ads. No, it’s not easy to operate in such a diffused, diverse, and hyperniched sector, but that doesn’t mean some radio stations haven’t worked out most of the details in their strategy as they evolve with all these changes, some of which we noted at the Grammy’s in 2013. Indeed, we can expect these and new trends to continue well into the future, they must evolve or the radio industry cannot survive. Please consider all this and think on it.

Ladies: For Your Consideration There is a question that has been gnawing at my mind (and perhaps the minds of others) for years now that only women could truly answer, never mind that they seldom have occasion to broach the subject (that I’ve noticed, anyway; the answer may be buried in some back issue of Cosmo that I would not dare to be seen reading in public). As a preface, let me state that I certainly understand that many young, modern women choose to “play the field” either before or instead of marriage.
For me, there is no bone of contention. Do as ye will, and so forth. The question is, therefore, not based on any moral consideration of whether or not your periodic romps at “the club”, frat parties, seedy bars, and any number of other hip and happening destinations is right or wrong, but rather, the question is this: are you actually having any fun doing it, especially when so many of you end a night of entertainment by having sex with one or more men?

already had their fill of “minute men” on past dates, there are few reliable ways for the rare few well-endowed gentlemen to actually advertise themselves in any sensible fashion. Why would anyone believe them without having firsthand knowledge? So many fabulous ladies venture forth into the night and continue to flit from one bar to the next, to see and be seen, all of which makes sense until the hookups commence. Is it the liquor? It could be, for all I know. If you’re too drunk to remember what happened, the previous night’s performance might not mean anything. Is it the popularity you think you’re gaining by being sexually active, especially if you manage to bed someone socially wellheeled? Are we all still in high-
hunting for a husband as a secondary or tertiary consideration, then maybe jumping one or two of them as a “test drive” makes sense. Maybe. That is, if they don’t all lose respect for you when they flag you as being “easy” which is one of the most idiotic social behaviors men have ever exhibited, in my opinion, but that’s another discussion for another time. But honestly, if you’re out for a night of fun, dressed to kill after hours of wardrobe planning and preparation, bouncing from one hot night spot to the next, why spoil the whole night by haphazardly hopping into bed with so many disappointments? We all know that it happens, and it happens frequently. Perhaps you should not be Plenty of those “minute men” blamed, since your locality’s might actually make for good equivalents of Ron Jeremy and marrying material, and if you’re school? I suppose those of you with fake IDs might be, but otherwise, why bother? If you will recall, sleeping with even one man, much less dozens or even hundreds of them, can be a dangerous affair. STDs, unplanned pregnancies, domestic violence, blah blah blah. Okay, so let’s assume you’ve apprised yourselves of all the risks and taken the necessary steps to mitigate them. There’s still the cold, hard fact that most men, even by non-pornographic standards, are probably going to disappoint in bed unless you, too, are awful under the sheets, at which point everyone’s going to be unhappy. At least you’ll be even.

Peter North may have the looks and social skills of mangy walruses. Many young men spend an equal amount of time preparing themselves with the right looks, lines, and scents to bag any number of unsuspecting ladies who will never know how bad they truly can be in bed, further muddying the waters. But, honestly, if you’re going to take all the social and biological risks associated with hooking up, shouldn’t you at least enjoy some sort of reward for all the risk? Landing in bed with another “minute man” draped in the latest fashions and reeking of Axe or Tag doesn’t seem like it should be high on your list of things to do.

Throw in the title track and “Lonely Is The Night” and you have an album that stands with any released in its time or any other, if you like hard rock, that is. If not, what are you doing reading this anyway? “Emotions In Motion” comes next in the catalog and continues Squier’s winning streak. Songs like the title
track, “Everybody Wants You”, and the Stones-esque “Catch 22” flat-out smoke and there are hidden gems like “She’s A Runner” to reward listening to the whole album. This point in Squier’s discography marks the start of a dry spell, albeit a dry spell many artists would kill to have. The albums “Signs of Life” and “Enough Is Enough” have their high points with the singles “All Night Long”, “Rock Me Tonite”, and “Lady With A Tenor Sax” (an instrument that I used to play and, more interestingly, a song coauthored by Freddie Mercury); however, the damage done by the pink pants ficult to overcome to this Billy Squier still plays out and Squier wore in the video for day. is an utter knockout live … “Rock Me Tonite” proves difwhich is exactly all that is

Squier is an album artist from an era of albums and trying to define him by his singles is like trying to fornicate for celibacy – it might be fun at first but, ultimately, it doesn’t work out for anyone. If you must start with a Billy Squier compilation, try “Reach For The Sky: The Anthology”, a two-disc set that gives a better overview of his catalog. Better yet, avoid all that and give the first five albums a spin. If you’re not hip, you will be. Despite what the critic community will tell you, Billy Squier rocks. Hard.
